Hey guys, new update as of today 04/28. This one moves the app folder to apps main menu and improves PSP performance. Also, my Boxart Tutorial is LIVE. Watch it here: ua-cam.com/video/5CX_tGCEM64/v-deo.htmlsi=Eiwe4LmDKfzvrArA
I am currently doing the update for the new version but it doesnt seem that a BIO folder exists... did they hide it somewhere else or do i need to put my own BIOs in?
@garrettgraham7875 I believe its still there but for some reason theyve hid it in the linux partition. When you go to launch a game youll see the bios. Give it a try
@@JaviPlayRetro currently downloading the 93 GB “DONE” rom file package. I’ll report back when that downloads. The software is working though and my second SD card got the files added after first boot
thank you so much for this!! I had no idea what I was doing and looked everywhere for a decent guide/instructions as I received mine not working but you honestly made it super clear and simple!
Man, i watched this video last night. And i was able to do everything you explain in this tutorial and didn't even said thanks. It's pretty clear and really helpful. I did it with the brand new firmware update for the rg35xx h and everything works just fine. Thanks for this content and something to say is that the roms micro sd i had to do the ExFat format because it didn't let me select the fat32 one. But worked nice. Once again, thank you for this! 👌🏻🔥
Man this was super helpful. I'd say you made this idiot proof as I had never manually upgraded firmware from a download file online before. You made this extremely simple and I greatly appreciate it
Can you Please add the Box ART tutorial!!! That would be greatly appreciated, thank you for the helpful video, I originally missed the MS vs SMS folder naming!
okay today everything has arrived and i was done with it in 10 minutes, i made 1 mistake when installing the partition manager i got baited in the free trial normal version where i can't apply the format on the sd card and realized the demo is not the free version. but everythingelse was fast and easy, thank you again.

I’ve installed the latest firmware 1.1.5 to a single SD card and notice there’s 45 unallocated space which I can’t use to extend the main partition. The flashed main partition is empty and it’s already 1.9 GB free space with is not enough. Is it really unusable and I should’ve just but another SD card to put all of my games it is there a workaround where I can just use single SD card? Update: Just realize there's a disclaimer in Anbernic's Firmware Download page about it does impossible to extend the partition. Guess I might just buy a dedicated 16GB card then
Hello Javi, great video, it helped a lot. However, I have a problem, I have an rg35xx PLUS, I downloaded the 16gb file and did everything as you said, but on the first SD card there is neither the .config file nor the bios file. Consequently, the coremapping.json note does not exist. What could I be doing wrong?

You need 2 micro sd cards. This is a 2 card setup. If you only have one card, you'll have to download the 64GB version with the games and delete all the games after flashing
@@JaviPlayRetro This is incorrect. Single card setup works fine with the 16 GB image. If OP plugs the card into PC and opens Mini Tool Partition magic they will see the 4.19 GB partition as well as a 45 GB unallocated space. OP needs to format this unallocated space to exFat and add create a drive letter. Once done Plug the card into the console and reboot console once. Upon reboot the console will create the folders in the new 45Gb partition. OP can them plug the card back into PC and will see Roms folder in the 45 GB partition. This is where Op can add the games.
I tried this but it didn't work for me. It took around 10 hours to flash the new firmware image to the new SD card (fornatted to FAT32) then when it eventually finished I put it in the device (along with the second card) and powered it on and all I got was a blank screen.
after the instalation i got a black screen and no ambernic logo. And its not responding to anything, charguing light is orange but im not getting anything from screen. Any solutions?
BOX ART tutorial for this latest version 20240330 PLEEASE! all my games looks sad without image... need to do the art for every game ! please brother ♥♥♥
This mean you got the 64GB image. You want the 16GB image. Unless you really want to do a single card setup. In which case select all those file and extract them with 7zip at the same time to make one big image.Then flash that image with rufus
@@JaviPlayRetro i appreciate the help. I used the link that I was emailed by anbernic. I followed your instructions for the two card system but using two 64 g SD cards and it's working great. Thanks for the help man. Your video really was the only way I was able to figure this out. 💯
I followed your steps but when I boot it up with both MicroSD cards put in, I don't see the 2nd Sd like you do when you went into the "Game Room." Did I do something wrong? It's 128GB
@@JaviPlayRetroso my games all loaded and I can see and play them. But the option to select between the 2 microsd cards don’t show up? 🤷🏻♂️ think it’s a big deal? lol
@Johnniibeanasmr i think you're on the new update. Anbernic removed the apps section in the first sd card on the new update. That's why you dont see it.
@Johnniibeanasmr On one hand its better because its just one less screen between you and your games. On the other hand you dont have the apps folder that has some handy features.
good stuff Javi! keep it up! im waiting for someone to show me how to update with one micro sd card, i did it when i first got my device with a 128gb card
Hey man, good video.. but can you help me with my device... im purchasing the new version of RG35xx, i believe they call it RG35xx 2024 model or RG35XX+ (not RG35XX Plus but RG35XX+).. i cant find it on the anbernic website for firmware... which one i should choose?
My RG35XX Plus's original SD card wasn't working upon arrival. Just got stuck on the Anbernic logo screen at boot. I ordered 64Gb and 128GB SanDisk SD cards. Can I follow this tutorial and install the 16GB stock OS on the 64GB and use the 128GB for games? I understand that the rest of the space on the 64GB won't be accessible - but will it still work?
Hi Javi, maybe you can help! I download the firmware for my RG35xx+ and I can't seem to figure out how to find the IMG file. my file types only show "001 File, 002File, etc..." I don't see a RAR file even when I extract the file I downloaded. Please help.
Bit confused. Why download the 16Gb file? 1: Why does the console have 2x SD slots and what are their purposes. 2: If the 64Gb card in internal slot is loaded almost full with files what am I doing downloading 16Gb of files onto it? (the card to the right (external) is 128gb. I tried for hours on a mac to download (v1.1.3 64Gb zip file) then unzipped it but it didn't become a disc image so now trying to convert it in disc utility but I don't really know what I'm doing. The first time I unzipped it and dragged it directly to the old card but now erased / reformatted but same thing happened it just hung on the logo screen. This sort of stuff confuses and annoys the hell out of me. Just wanted my mum to bring a gift over for my son and starting to regret buying this. ffs. Getting even more confused when you say now just download the games into such and such sd card. argggh. I hate shit like this makes no sense to me!!!!! Just tried again. This time downloaded the 16Gb file as a zip, unzipped it then converted it to a disk image. Then tried to restore it to a fresh formatted sd card showing just over 62Gb, would not restore so dragged and dropped it to the card but console would not even turn on. Last time i dragged and dropped the larger file and console fired up but still stuck on logo. I got It working using a mac and reflashed the 64gb left side "internal" card. I downloaded the 64Gb file then i Unzipped it with "The Unarchiver" Then the part that caught me out was to then open the unzipped folder and find another zip folder inside. Unzip the 2nd zipped folder Then it will transform into a disc image file. Use "Balena Etcher" Select the file to flash "The recently created disc image" Then make sure your sd card is erased and fat32 formatted (I used disk utility). Then select the sd card as a destination. Takes some time but works. you may have to try a few times and hit the reset button. (wait some time 30 secs or so for the bootup).
Hi! I did not see commodore 64 files/folders during the install in the video. Could you tell me how can I install C64 games onto my rg35xx plus with this new stock os? Thank you!
update from 13 days ago. I have got new OS to work, but the files from the 16gb Download dont match. There are no bio or config files. Also the ROM files are empty. One observation, when i run Rufus, it changes the name of the SD card and it reverts to a D type, which means it doesn't show in the windows file tree. Is there a difference between an old style SD adapter and a USB adapter, Im grasping at straws now :( UPDATE: this issue could be related to Rufus being a USB tool rather than accepting an old style SD converter. I'll try again. UPDATE: no change sadly, the RUFUS tool changes the name and the drive type once its done with the image file and there are no bio or config files.
I get an "image file not supported by Rufus" once i try to add the image file. I extracted everything and moved the image file to the desktop. My computer does not recognize it as an image file (not sure why, as the file extension checks out.) Was not visible until i clicked show all files. Grabbed the image file and got that error. Am i getting a bad firmware download? There are quite a few to choose from on the anbernic site, i did my best to use your info given as im trying this for the rg35xx+. I chose the top link. Also... when i extracted the file, i am missing the .rar file. Either way, i somewhat understand this... but before i progress, it looks like im stuck w the POS stock micro SD card that came with my unit for now. Followed your video verbatim. Watching this video on my phone and backing it up to be sure i didn't miss a step while performing said tasks at my pc. Clearly, something is missing. I would appreciate any advice to solve this issue. Honestly, I'd rather just pay someone to load up a few branded micro SD cards with the OS and Roms on it. I wonder why anbernic doesn't offer that service... they're already doing it on cheap non branded cards. Just upsell the service to novice computer users such as myself. It doesn't appear to be difficult... but i get stuck when said files do not work once extracted. Makes no sense...
I'm trying to find a way to do this for the RG35XX SP. Would this same exact method work for the SP? That way I can start downloading roms and have the OS downloaded already. So I can start setting up to play. I've heard it's best not to keep the SD card they give you.
You are awesome. Please can you show us how I can add Amiga Core to the stock firmware? Can you do this please? Thanks for everything my friend. Greetings from GREECE
I'm currently following the video, it's really easy to understand and follow but I still have a problem at some point. When I tried to put back my first sd card to see the bios folder, my computer does not show the R: StockOS =/ I'm going to erase it once more and try again but it's strange. Maybe I need to try with another OS since I they added a lot more of them instead of the 2 you're showing in the video.
Hello! i have followed the steps twice but no matter what I do, the second SD card is not showing on my RG3xx H, any ideas on what may be happening? Thanks in advance for any help
Hey! Só, I followed the instructions and they were great! Idk if I did something wrong, but now, on some pokemon Romhacks i loaded, they both dont have sound and when i turn them off, the console freezes on a black screen😅 any tips?
I'm currently running an older version of the stock firmware (20231221) with 2x SD cards. Do I still need to do the process for the 2nd SD card, wipe all games, just to recopy them back on? Or can I just do the firmware update on SD1 and leave SD2 in there? Thanks.
after i flashed the OS i put it in the RG35XXH and there is nothing showing on screen, just light turning on.. does anyone know how to fix or Javi can you help?
Hi bro, i have a RG353V and i wanted to change the T2 sd because i want more games, but i try everything in a new card with the right exfact but a lot of consoles did show on the ambernic, then i try to put the old sd and repare it with my computer but now, i can save psp games, like the progress, can you help me with that?
hey man... so I have had mine for maybe 2 months. it will start up, show the anbernic logo, then it just goes black. when i hit the power button itll flash to the menu where you select games etc... then just goes back black again... almost like its getting put back into sleep mode. any Idea what could be causing this or how to fix? I feel like something might just be messed up with the power button. but not sure.
I really appreciate you putting the boot time on screen. Most videos I watched so far just say it'll take a few minutes and leave you freaking out thinking you did something wrong
The 64GB is for a single card setup and comes with all the games and boxart from Anbernic. But you can't increase the size and youll have to delete stuff to make room for your games.
Hey man, not sure if you’re still active on this video but can I still follow this video guide while using a Mac? I’m assuming there’s alternative programs I’d have to use?
Amazing video :). My console is coming and this came out at the perfect time. I have one question: can I use a 64gb sd card for the OS? I only have 64 and 128 sd cards...
THANK YOU THANK YOU. I jumped headfirst into ordering one of these with next to no knowledge on all the logistics that were to come, tried reading my way to figuring it out and just ended up more confused. You have made this so simple and easy to do, thank you.
Thanks so much for the guide man ! My 35xx Plus came with a bricked SD card (boot stuck on the ambernic logo), but i was able to fix it by installing the OS on a brand new SD card thanks to your video! Much love
Does the bios folder only create itself after the SD card is inserted into the system and booted for the first time? I haven't got my device yet, I'm just preparing everything for when I do get it. I just flashed the stock OS onto the first SD card and there is no bios folder. Just wanted to make sure. Thank you for the video!
@@ROFLMAOwithExtraCheese i just bought mine RG35XX PLUS ... what should I do?i got a 128 Samsung micro sd card so do i need another sd card? and should i install batocera or just this one that this guy shows on the video? do u know? its because I'm new its my first time and i don't know what to do pleeease! thanks a lot man
@@joelgrebinsilvestri You only need one card. Copy the ROM and BIOS folders off the card that came with the device to your computer. The card that comes with the device is garbage so install whatever OS you are using (Batocera or whatever) to a different quality card.
You can youll have to download the 64GB version. This will come preloaded with everything. However, this will strictly be 64GB. Also if you want to put your own games youll have to delete the ones it comes with to make space for yours.
Also I dont recommend a single card setup becuase Anbernic will likely release another update, and that way, you dont have to load all the games again.
Im using one sd 64 g card and i have no issues. Unless you want all games from all systems to clog up your cards and game lists then yah maybe u need two cards. I like having only my best games from each system...and for that, one is more than enough
That's fine and plenty of roms for most people but it's still beneficial to use two cards because if there's another firmware update in future you can flash it to the card without interfering with your second card which contains all your roms and saves.
Thank you for this guide ! Quick question: I already have games on my Stock card (with saves) so I should not need Tiny best set right ? If I understood corectly, I just have to copy/paste my ROM and Save folder somewhere on my PC before updating the Firmware, then when the 1st booting is done, I just have to drag&drop these folders back on the SD card ? As simple as that ??
Hello @JaviPlayRetro Thanks for that very clear and well explained video ! You deserved awards and gifts from Anbernic ! Your explaination helped many lost guys like me !
Man, playing stretched Arcade games like that is really annoying. But don't bother, it's just me :) I was never happy with the choppy performance of Game Rooms and subpar graphics (stretched or otherwise). I wonder if that changed?
Why not a review of the new functions? Flashing a disk image is always the same thing... And btw the passage of formatting to fat32 a card before a complete flash is actually useless
Yeah I have seen so many tutorials formatting the card before flashing. This is pointless as your imaging software like Rufus does that during the flashing process
@@JaviPlayRetro yeah that would be nice. My point was: flashing the fw is basically always same thing whatever is the version of it, while knowing what's new in the newer versions and how the works could me more interesting for your viewers. And btw thanks for taking the time answer! 👍
Incase it makes a difference, I have the plus console. Should I still get the 16gb version even if I got a 64gb card? And if my 2nd card doesn't have the updated firmware do I NEED to update that one? If so how would I keep all the games and saves on it?
Great tutorial, I did it step by step and was successful. Would you happen to know off other sites where I can get good, working ROMs like the one you suggested. I tried installing a few PS1 and PSP games but they don't start up for me. Any information would be appreciated.
THANK YOU so much for this step by step instruction. My device arrived today and whilst it had no issues I was aware of the potential bad sd card. Yours is the only tutorial I could easily follow and actually worked. KUDOS my friend. Liked and subscribed 👍
Thank you very much for this. I foolishly flashed my card with garlic os not knowing that it deletes everything on the card so I lost my saves and everything and to top it all off my rg35xx h didn’t boot with garlic os anyways. Very frustrating
does this work on 1 larger SD card like a 256GB? I'd prefer one card and the Modded Firmware Tom has on Reddit says 1 or 2, however i cannot find tutorials for just the 1 card. People say do exFat for larger SD cards and im not great with linux stuff lol

after the instalation i got a black screen and no ambernic logo. And its not responding to anything, charguing light is orange but im not getting anything from screen. Any solutions?
Anyone know how to do this but with a Mac? I’ve been searching all over UA-cam and can’t really find anyone who can show me.
I downloaded the new rom from Anbernic which is for 16GB only, what will happen if I use my 64 cards to clone that IMG file? Thanks.
BOX ART tutorial for this latest version 20240330
PLEEASE! all my games looks sad without image... need to do the art for every game ! please brother ♥♥♥
I didnt get a .RAR file when i extacted the first file. Instead i got 10 other rg35xx h files and im lost now. Any help?
This mean you got the 64GB image. You want the 16GB image. Unless you really want to do a single card setup. In which case select all those file and extract them with 7zip at the same time to make one big image.Then flash that image with rufus
@@JaviPlayRetro i appreciate the help. I used the link that I was emailed by anbernic. I followed your instructions for the two card system but using two 64 g SD cards and it's working great. Thanks for the help man. Your video really was the only way I was able to figure this out. 💯
I followed your steps but when I boot it up with both MicroSD cards put in, I don't see the 2nd Sd like you do when you went into the "Game Room." Did I do something wrong? It's 128GB
Did you load it with your games?
@@JaviPlayRetro adding in the games now on the 2nd SD card. About to plug it in 🤞🏼 I just noticed you already had that option pop up on the first boot
@@JaviPlayRetroso my games all loaded and I can see and play them. But the option to select between the 2 microsd cards don’t show up? 🤷🏻♂️ think it’s a big deal? lol
@Johnniibeanasmr i think you're on the new update. Anbernic removed the apps section in the first sd card on the new update. That's why you dont see it.
@Johnniibeanasmr On one hand its better because its just one less screen between you and your games. On the other hand you dont have the apps folder that has some handy features.
did everything but after installing the image RG35xxh 2400417 it would always turn my sd card to 4gb why is that?
good stuff Javi! keep it up! im waiting for someone to show me how to update with one micro sd card, i did it when i first got my device with a 128gb card
I really recommend 2 cards just so when a future update comes out you dont have to mess with your games again.
Hey man, good video.. but can you help me with my device... im purchasing the new version of RG35xx, i believe they call it RG35xx 2024 model or RG35XX+ (not RG35XX Plus but RG35XX+).. i cant find it on the anbernic website for firmware... which one i should choose?
My RG35XX Plus's original SD card wasn't working upon arrival. Just got stuck on the Anbernic logo screen at boot.
I ordered 64Gb and 128GB SanDisk SD cards.
Can I follow this tutorial and install the 16GB stock OS on the 64GB and use the 128GB for games?
I understand that the rest of the space on the 64GB won't be accessible - but will it still work?
Hi Javi,
maybe you can help! I download the firmware for my RG35xx+ and I can't seem to figure out how to find the IMG file. my file types only show "001 File, 002File, etc..." I don't see a RAR file even when I extract the file I downloaded. Please help.
Did you transfer those folders on the second SD card form the first? Does the second SD card have to be formatted to FAT32?
Bit confused. Why download the 16Gb file?
1: Why does the console have 2x SD slots and what are their purposes.
2: If the 64Gb card in internal slot is loaded almost full with files what am I doing downloading 16Gb of files onto it? (the card to the right (external) is 128gb.
I tried for hours on a mac to download (v1.1.3 64Gb zip file) then unzipped it but it didn't become a disc image so now trying to convert it in disc utility but I don't really know what I'm doing. The first time I unzipped it and dragged it directly to the old card but now erased / reformatted but same thing happened it just hung on the logo screen.
This sort of stuff confuses and annoys the hell out of me. Just wanted my mum to bring a gift over for my son and starting to regret buying this. ffs.
Getting even more confused when you say now just download the games into such and such sd card. argggh. I hate shit like this makes no sense to me!!!!!
Just tried again. This time downloaded the 16Gb file as a zip, unzipped it then converted it to a disk image. Then tried to restore it to a fresh formatted sd card showing just over 62Gb, would not restore so dragged and dropped it to the card but console would not even turn on. Last time i dragged and dropped the larger file and console fired up but still stuck on logo.
I got It working using a mac and reflashed the 64gb left side "internal" card. I downloaded the 64Gb file then i Unzipped it with "The Unarchiver" Then the part that caught me out was to then open the unzipped folder and find another zip folder inside. Unzip the 2nd zipped folder Then it will transform into a disc image file. Use "Balena Etcher" Select the file to flash "The recently created disc image"
Then make sure your sd card is erased and fat32 formatted (I used disk utility). Then select the sd card as a destination. Takes some time but works. you may have to try a few times and hit the reset button. (wait some time 30 secs or so for the bootup).
Hi! I did not see commodore 64 files/folders during the install in the video. Could you tell me how can I install C64 games onto my rg35xx plus with this new stock os? Thank you!
update from 13 days ago. I have got new OS to work, but the files from the 16gb Download dont match. There are no bio or config files. Also the ROM files are empty. One observation, when i run Rufus, it changes the name of the SD card and it reverts to a D type, which means it doesn't show in the windows file tree. Is there a difference between an old style SD adapter and a USB adapter, Im grasping at straws now :( UPDATE: this issue could be related to Rufus being a USB tool rather than accepting an old style SD converter. I'll try again. UPDATE: no change sadly, the RUFUS tool changes the name and the drive type once its done with the image file and there are no bio or config files.
I get an "image file not supported by Rufus" once i try to add the image file. I extracted everything and moved the image file to the desktop. My computer does not recognize it as an image file (not sure why, as the file extension checks out.) Was not visible until i clicked show all files. Grabbed the image file and got that error. Am i getting a bad firmware download? There are quite a few to choose from on the anbernic site, i did my best to use your info given as im trying this for the rg35xx+. I chose the top link. Also... when i extracted the file, i am missing the .rar file. Either way, i somewhat understand this... but before i progress, it looks like im stuck w the POS stock micro SD card that came with my unit for now. Followed your video verbatim. Watching this video on my phone and backing it up to be sure i didn't miss a step while performing said tasks at my pc. Clearly, something is missing. I would appreciate any advice to solve this issue.
Honestly, I'd rather just pay someone to load up a few branded micro SD cards with the OS and Roms on it. I wonder why anbernic doesn't offer that service... they're already doing it on cheap non branded cards. Just upsell the service to novice computer users such as myself. It doesn't appear to be difficult... but i get stuck when said files do not work once extracted. Makes no sense...
I'm trying to find a way to do this for the RG35XX SP. Would this same exact method work for the SP? That way I can start downloading roms and have the OS downloaded already. So I can start setting up to play. I've heard it's best not to keep the SD card they give you.
You are awesome. Please can you show us how I can add Amiga Core to the stock firmware? Can you do this please? Thanks for everything my friend. Greetings from GREECE
I'm currently following the video, it's really easy to understand and follow but I still have a problem at some point. When I tried to put back my first sd card to see the bios folder, my computer does not show the R: StockOS =/
I'm going to erase it once more and try again but it's strange. Maybe I need to try with another OS since I they added a lot more of them instead of the 2 you're showing in the video.
Hello! i have followed the steps twice but no matter what I do, the second SD card is not showing on my RG3xx H, any ideas on what may be happening? Thanks in advance for any help
Great one! As a Mac user, I wonder if there any way to do the same thing on mac? Thanks a lot!
Hey! Só, I followed the instructions and they were great! Idk if I did something wrong, but now, on some pokemon Romhacks i loaded, they both dont have sound and when i turn them off, the console freezes on a black screen😅 any tips?
I wonder what's the need of using the partion manager...why not just formatting a fresh card with Windows "Format" function and choosing FAT32?
I'm currently running an older version of the stock firmware (20231221) with 2x SD cards. Do I still need to do the process for the 2nd SD card, wipe all games, just to recopy them back on? Or can I just do the firmware update on SD1 and leave SD2 in there? Thanks.
Curious about this myself?
after i flashed the OS i put it in the RG35XXH and there is nothing showing on screen, just light turning on.. does anyone know how to fix or Javi can you help?
Hi bro, i have a RG353V and i wanted to change the T2 sd because i want more games, but i try everything in a new card with the right exfact but a lot of consoles did show on the ambernic, then i try to put the old sd and repare it with my computer but now, i can save psp games, like the progress, can you help me with that?
I dont understand, my SD card is 128gb, after I write the image he jumps to 4 gb space only. With MuOs this didnt happened
hey man... so I have had mine for maybe 2 months. it will start up, show the anbernic logo, then it just goes black. when i hit the power button itll flash to the menu where you select games etc... then just goes back black again... almost like its getting put back into sleep mode. any Idea what could be causing this or how to fix? I feel like something might just be messed up with the power button. but not sure.
I really appreciate you putting the boot time on screen. Most videos I watched so far just say it'll take a few minutes and leave you freaking out thinking you did something wrong
Nice to see stock updates from Anbernic! So what is the 64gb update file?? lol that seems like a lot for the tf1 card…
The 64GB is for a single card setup and comes with all the games and boxart from Anbernic. But you can't increase the size and youll have to delete stuff to make room for your games.
Hey man, not sure if you’re still active on this video but can I still follow this video guide while using a Mac? I’m assuming there’s alternative programs I’d have to use?
I have a question, i buy a rg35xx+ but in the last few days the retroarch doesn't work. I use the sd that came with the console. What i have to do?
wish you wouldn't drag your mouse so fast and clicking fast like that, hard to follow through without backtracking!!
Can i do this with a mac?
4:10 the . Rare files is not popping up so i can 7zip it. What do i do? Thank you for your content
Having the same issue after extraction it shows another zip file no rar or img files
everytime i update the firmware they change folder recognition and all my saves get fucked. just a heads up
Great work man, thanks. Would like to see the same but with Garlic 2.0 ;)
Justo lo que necesitaba parce, gracias!
Amazing video :). My console is coming and this came out at the perfect time. I have one question: can I use a 64gb sd card for the OS? I only have 64 and 128 sd cards...
Yeah, you can use 64Gb. That's fine
Can you run off a 64 gb and a 128gb system ?
It's very useful Thank you
Much appreciated. The SD card that came with my plus started boot looping on the 2nd startup and was bricked.
So you HAVETA have 2 cards? The 64GB and and SD?
Can I use this guide for the old 35xx that is running garlic OS?
THANK YOU THANK YOU. I jumped headfirst into ordering one of these with next to no knowledge on all the logistics that were to come, tried reading my way to figuring it out and just ended up more confused. You have made this so simple and easy to do, thank you.
Thanks so much for the guide man ! My 35xx Plus came with a bricked SD card (boot stuck on the ambernic logo), but i was able to fix it by installing the OS on a brand new SD card thanks to your video! Much love
I have this issue, too.
My laptop SSD isn't big enough to copy all the games from the bricked cards to it, though.
Any ideas?
Can you make a vid on how to flash fresh SD card to Knulli
Box art tutorial is a must have for the latest stock os😍 Especially for ppl like me who don't have the knownledge to do that!
You literally just save the image the same name and location as the rom.
@@PkmHax Sure, but I want them in a decent size and the right order to make it look as good as possible.

Does the bios folder only create itself after the SD card is inserted into the system and booted for the first time? I haven't got my device yet, I'm just preparing everything for when I do get it. I just flashed the stock OS onto the first SD card and there is no bios folder. Just wanted to make sure. Thank you for the video!
I'm wondering the same thing. mine doesn't show a Bios or config. folder
Is it okay to use only 1 SD card for both the OS and roms?
im getting the ´´installing´´ screen and it stuck there when i turn it on :(
Hi Javi, thanks for your tutorial.
Is it possible use only ONE sd card? like Batocera, MuOS etc...
Yes you can use only one card. This is how they ship it.
@@ROFLMAOwithExtraCheese i just bought mine RG35XX PLUS ... what should I do?i got a 128 Samsung micro sd card
so do i need another sd card? and should i install batocera or just this one that this guy shows on the video? do u know? its because I'm new its my first time and i don't know what to do pleeease!
thanks a lot man
@@joelgrebinsilvestri You only need one card. Copy the ROM and BIOS folders off the card that came with the device to your computer. The card that comes with the device is garbage so install whatever OS you are using (Batocera or whatever) to a different quality card.
You can youll have to download the 64GB version. This will come preloaded with everything. However, this will strictly be 64GB. Also if you want to put your own games youll have to delete the ones it comes with to make space for yours.
Also I dont recommend a single card setup becuase Anbernic will likely release another update, and that way, you dont have to load all the games again.
I heard that it supports exfat now. Do you know if this is true?
Great tutorial! Change that smoke detector, though.
Im using one sd 64 g card and i have no issues. Unless you want all games from all systems to clog up your cards and game lists then yah maybe u need two cards. I like having only my best games from each system...and for that, one is more than enough
That's fine and plenty of roms for most people but it's still beneficial to use two cards because if there's another firmware update in future you can flash it to the card without interfering with your second card which contains all your roms and saves.
I have mine curated by myself and have top 100 Roms for each system
Where can I download the BlOs?
thanks for this very helpful content.
Thank you for this guide ! Quick question: I already have games on my Stock card (with saves) so I should not need Tiny best set right ? If I understood corectly, I just have to copy/paste my ROM and Save folder somewhere on my PC before updating the Firmware, then when the 1st booting is done, I just have to drag&drop these folders back on the SD card ? As simple as that ??
Why I have 15gb unlocated?
Please make a box art tutorial
Is that can set up on phone,cuz i dont have pc😢
Hello @JaviPlayRetro
Thanks for that very clear and well explained video ! You deserved awards and gifts from Anbernic ! Your explaination helped many lost guys like me !
Man, playing stretched Arcade games like that is really annoying. But don't bother, it's just me :)
I was never happy with the choppy performance of Game Rooms and subpar graphics (stretched or otherwise). I wonder if that changed?
Planning to get RG35XX H. What is the advantage of going for 64GB OS vs. 16GB? And why do you recommend using two cards instead of only one? TIA!
Why not a review of the new functions? Flashing a disk image is always the same thing... And btw the passage of formatting to fat32 a card before a complete flash is actually useless
You want me to explore the the new ebook, music player, file explorer etc?
Yeah I have seen so many tutorials formatting the card before flashing. This is pointless as your imaging software like Rufus does that during the flashing process
@@JaviPlayRetro yeah that would be nice. My point was: flashing the fw is basically always same thing whatever is the version of it, while knowing what's new in the newer versions and how the works could me more interesting for your viewers. And btw thanks for taking the time answer! 👍
Incase it makes a difference, I have the plus console. Should I still get the 16gb version even if I got a 64gb card?
And if my 2nd card doesn't have the updated firmware do I NEED to update that one? If so how would I keep all the games and saves on it?
Good video but where do you get your wallpaper?
Great tutorial, I did it step by step and was successful. Would you happen to know off other sites where I can get good, working ROMs like the one you suggested. I tried installing a few PS1 and PSP games but they don't start up for me. Any information would be appreciated.
do i need all the folders off the old sd on the second sd?
THANK YOU so much for this step by step instruction. My device arrived today and whilst it had no issues I was aware of the potential bad sd card. Yours is the only tutorial I could easily follow and actually worked. KUDOS my friend. Liked and subscribed 👍
Thank you very much for this. I foolishly flashed my card with garlic os not knowing that it deletes everything on the card so I lost my saves and everything and to top it all off my rg35xx h didn’t boot with garlic os anyways. Very frustrating
does this work on 1 larger SD card like a 256GB? I'd prefer one card and the Modded Firmware Tom has on Reddit says 1 or 2, however i cannot find tutorials for just the 1 card. People say do exFat for larger SD cards and im not great with linux stuff lol
